Johan Looijenga has announced the release of MIDI real‐time Harmonizer v2, a stand-alone real-time MIDI harmonizer that takes input notes via MIDI and generates 4‐note chords that can be harmonized towards any key and scale. The result is sent out to a physical or virtual MIDI port in real‐time to drive any host plug-in synth or external synth. You can program 8 different chords that will be played one at a time, each time you play a note. The MIDI real‐time Harmonizer can then harmonize these chords towards any key and/or scale in real‐time.
By designating a special (lower) keyboard area to be used as key switches, you can switch to have all generated notes harmonized towards a particular programmable key/scale as you play. You can also play a chromatic above/below or below/above approach in your solo line to switch key/scale harmonizing in real‐time.
The MIDI real‐time Harmonizer also allows you to play a solo line with additional note harmonics generated in real‐time that will always fit to the right key and scale at the right moment. The application is designed with the performing musician in mind.

- Individual notes can trigger chords containing up to 4 notes.
